Dr. M admitting before an audience that he had Anwar Ibrahim arrested all those years back without any basis???!!

Is this for real? It looks genuine. Could it just be a lookalike, soundalike actor?

Or is it really Dr. M, just being dryly sarcastic? He does seem super selamba (very nonchalant) about admitting it… As if it were a non-issue that bears no consequences for him. The audience laughs at the mention of throwing Anwar into detention.

—————————————-

UPDATE 5 March 2008: Dr. M claims that the video clip is a distortion and taken out of context, though he does not explain what he means by that, or how the context nullifies the ‘Saya Zalim Anwar’ statement. Perhaps he was performing a stand-up routine?

What Mahathir says now or said in his 22 years is actually a measure of Machiavellian spin. He was the indelible milestone for Bolehland’s expansion in vocal sophistry. As such, he’s no moral compass for anyone who has a mind and uses it.

some of my colleagues were watching this video in the office but i was less interested to know. i knew it could be some smart ass work of editing what Dr M said. I mean how relaxed could he be abt it and dont you think it would have caused much rage among ppl for the injustice that may have happened. why put more oil into fire?? why waste time in expanding differences when all we want is a united and peaceful country to live in. do you wish to see Malaysia end up like other war-torn countries? do u wish to live in fear? we should try to appreciate what we have and eventhough there may be certain things that needs to be sorted out lets ensure that it gets done and not waste time on things like this.

stuffed, I’ll give you one simple reason why we should care… One day, it might be YOU thrown into the lockup for 5 years without trial, and the politician who ordered you arrested never brought to account for it.

It is only by fighting against all injustice that we can live without fear. Quoting May 13 1969 and ISA arrest is using fear as a weapon.

Sir Scott, he was being sarcastic la. He was talking about how Pak Lah abusing his position and enriching his cronies, abuse of power etc. Then he said Pak Lah and his 4th floor boys were condemning him for abuse of power too. Then he said show him proof – and then he went on sarcastically abt him abusing anwar.

The sentence was taken out of context. That was why the audience were laughing. If he was serious, if the speech was an admission of some sorts, the audience would have their mouths gaped opened!

This is just some editing job done by people who has vested interests in smearing his name.

Tun Mahathir played politics very well. He ruled, abuse, resign, remose…hopefully fully repent and then finally rest in peace. Remember, he offered himself to resign from the PM post after he positioned his subsequent action to his benefit. All seem to fall in place…..but slowly but surely GOD audit and edit…so he lost his crooked bridge, pave way for Anwar to be freed, tried to crawl back to power…but unsuccessful. Now pushing his luck with his son. Will he restore power to Tun’s dynasty? Let’s leave it to GOD.
